This "room" is in our owner occupied home that if we sold it now would qualify for the $500,000 exclusion (married). Who knows how long we stay in this house and if we put it as a rental property rather than sell it. We have lived her now for 23 years. We currently have a rental home also and been depreciation it for years now, and if we sell that home would have "recapture" I would think also? If we move to that home for a few years, and I add a home office again, then the rental property that has been accumulating depreciation would also accumulate home office depreciation. Then the property I currently live in would become a rental and would have entire home depreciation. Seems a bit complicated on this depreciation.
I am just complicating things at this time. But as long as I am living here then I will just put the total "prior depreciation" into the 8829 if I create another home office when I have income. That will accumulate for me one way or another so I can keep track of it all.
Thank you for your reply and confirmation
